BATED Breath (Dansili) has been having an incredible run of form, much to the delight of this columnist who is a big fan. He had three winners at Royal Ascot, followed by Simply Breathless winning the Grade 3 Wilshire Stakes in the USA.

One of his Ascot winners was the Roger Varian-trained Daahyeh, successful in the Group 3 Albany Stakes on her second start, and this in spite of carrying a small wager from me. This was a belated 20th birthday present for winning rider David Egan, no doubt delighting his father John, his mum Sandra Hughes and his grandmother Eileen.
